The Mark Ratcliffe Moving Blog

Mark Ratcliffe Moving modern removal lorry at our Lower Dicker depot serving Sussex

Welcome to our blog. We have been moving Eastbourne and Sussex families since 1982 — over the years we have packed more crystal, wrapped more mahogany and survived more last-minute completion-date changes than we can count. This is where we share what we have learned. Every article is written by the team that does the work, not a marketing agency.

Topics span the most common questions our customers ask — the full 8-week moving checklist, fragile-item packing, choosing a removal company, the real 2026 cost of moving in Sussex, and our signature pad-wrap protection method. The newest article sits at the top of the grid below.
